David Ortiz delivered a passionate and mildly profane speech to Red Sox fans Saturday as baseball returned to Fenway Park - and luckily for the slugger, it looks like the team will avoid any fines from the FCC.

"This jersey that we wear today, it doesn't say 'Red Sox,' it says 'Boston,' " Ortiz said. "We want to thank you Mayor Menino, Governor Patrick, the whole police department for the great job they did this past week. This is our (expletive) city."

After the game, the FCC tweeted in response.

"David Ortiz spoke from the heart at today's Red Sox game. I stand with Big Papi and the people of Boston - Julius," the tweet said, signed by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski.
